The money is used to support an undergraduate student (Collett Moorehouse is back for her second year.) This year students in the Advertising Seminar "Minds, Media and Messages" will also have the opportunity to use the lab as they do their research projects for class. So far the lab has assisted in research resulting in two dissertations, two theses and perhaps a dozen or more scholarly papers and presentations as well as several honors projects and undergraduate research paper that was presented at a national conference. Joel also notes that the space is used by faculty, grad students and undergrad students to support their research. Also, Joel‘s “Frontiers of the Discipline” proposal was selected. He recommended a course called Mediated Minds that focuses on work as done in the Physiomedia Lab and noting how he and students measure media attention and response via such factors as brain waves, heart rate and skin response.
